Brudet
Dalmatian fish and shellfish stew with tomato, vinegar and polenta.
About Brudet
SJ presents brodet as a classic Dalmatian seafood stew associated with Croatia’s coast. Her family-style version combines mixed firm fish, mussels and scampi with onion, garlic and tomato.
Extra virgin olive oil gives the sauce richness, while white vinegar provides its sour note. Different fish and shellfish contribute the depth the author seeks, with parsley adding a fresh herbal finish.
Fish pieces and shellfish remain in the gently simmered sauce. The stew is served with creamy polenta, with crusty bread and Croatian white wine also suggested alongside.
